Was very, very "hoppy". Would not purchase again but was a decent IPA I think.

Aug 10, 2009 I had the chance to try this at a recent tasting that I attended.
Pored from the tap into a tasting glass.
The color is red amber/gold with a good foamy white head.
The smell is a strong hop hop smell with a bit of lemon and grapefruit.
The taste is sweet, very hoppy with some flavoring of citrus such as lemon, grapefruit, and maybe a little tangerine. Also has a rich malty taste that escapes out at the end of each sip.
This beer does have bit of a bite to it. It is not always the best first beer to have, it might be a bit of a shock to your taste buds. Recommended for the hophead that lives for a nice hoppy beer.

Aug 8, 2009 (35.5cl bottle) Clear, copper colour with a thick and slightly beige foamy head. Aromatic piney and fruity-zesty hoppy aroma with a rounded sweet and slightly toasted malty background. Bitter flavour with a balancing malty sweetness, medium bodied with a pleasantly carbonated mouthfeel. Quite dry and slightly toasted malty body with hints of caramel, accompanied by an aromatic piney and fruity hoppy blend. Tasty and balanced IPA (06.VIII.09).

Aug 7, 2009 It looks good and it smells good, but you REALLY have to like hoppy beers (obviously). I thought I liked hoppy beers, but this one was way too hoppy for me -- it has actually made me feel ill both times I tried it.

Aug 7, 2009 Pours a clear coppery amber color. Thin off-white head with average retention. Moderate aroma of floral and citrus hops. Flavor is spicy, with some earthy and pine notes and nice balance of sweet caramel malt. Medium mouthfeel and a slightly dry finish. Very nice IPA.

Aug 4, 2009 Poured from my bottle into my glass the beer is dark orange. With little to no head. The aroma is strong hops a touch of ctirus and malt. The flavor is very nice. Not as hoppy as I thought it would be considering the menacing looking hop cartoon on the bottle. This beer seems to be balanced nicely with malt flavors and a major hop blast. The hop bitterness slaps your taste buds then the malt comes in and smooths things over. Perfect balance. Medium body with fairly mild carbonation. No real sticky hop after taste. This is a top notch IPA. I would highly reccamend this to all my friends.

Aug 4, 2009 Weird cat. Really fruity and sweet for the style, and not malty sweet, but almost sugary/lactose sweet. Still tasty, though. Basically I was hoping for more hoppage.
